Chapter 241 – Sale of Masks
Chapter 241 – Selling Masks
The Shadow Cheetah was able to spit out human words, and although its intelligence was only equivalent to that of a five or six year old child, it was barely considered an intelligent creature.
If the higher-ranked Shadow Cheetah would be able to communicate like an adult, but it wouldn’t be something that could be taken at this price.
That apprentice seemed to be a bit hesitant, but after seeing that no one bid next, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.
However, the two only reached a preliminary intention, the specific bargaining will be carried out after the exchange, after all, no one wants to let the specific exchange information leaked out.
Then a few empty seats apart it was Saul’s turn.
“I have no need at the moment.” Saul wasn’t prepared to look for anything at all in the hands of these apprentices, and planned to skim over it.
But this time Rokai encouraged him by saying, “You can also sell what you don’t use in your hands even if you don’t have anything you want to buy, we have quite a few wealthy people here.”
Saul hadn’t wanted to sell anything he owned, after all, what he had was fine.
But think carefully, suddenly realized that he also really have a props for a long time does not come in handy, was sealed in the treasury, usually even open dare not open.
That was a mask made from the skin of a young girl’s thigh – the necromancer’s shock mask.
Also back then when he was still a newcomer, he was tricked into the first corpse room by a second grade schoolmate and was almost possessed by an evil spirit. In order to save himself he created this mask by mistake.
But because of the extreme filth of goblins added to it, it has been causing an extremely disgusting stench that can’t be removed, and it can’t be worn at all, and even if it’s held in the hand, it will still cause the body to be stained with the stench, and it can’t be removed for a short period of time.
Thus, the mask was put on the shelf by Saul, and it was almost forgotten that it existed.
And the biggest use of this mask is that it can avoid being possessed by evil spirits.
But Saul wasn’t really afraid of normal evil spirit possession right now.
It’s not certain who will eat who!
If it was a high level evil spirit, this mask wouldn’t work, and it wasn’t as good as Saul’s own hand-to-hand fights.
“I have a mask that can avoid being possessed by ordinary evil spirits. Even if possessed, it has some repelling effect, if anyone is interested they can make an offer.”
Saul hadn’t exchanged anything at the swap meet and wasn’t too sure of the prices, so he might as well let these rich people make their own prices.
He didn’t expect anyone to be interested immediately after his words fell.
“What level of evil spirits can it deal with?” The first one to ask was surprisingly Ku Jin.
“I haven’t tested it specifically, but it has exorcized an evil spirit that made a second level sorcerer apprentice unable to handle it.”
“How long did it take?” This time it was the female apprentice who had taunted Mentor Kaz.
“It was quick, a few seconds.” Because Saul was the very person who was possessed at that time, he was a little fuzzy about time, and could only roughly know that it wasn’t long, but he could no longer tell exactly how many seconds it was.
The female apprentice’s eyes immediately glowed.
But before he opened his mouth, Wright suddenly shook the little maid in his hand, and that little girl revealed the organ joints on her neck between the shaking, surprisingly a lifelike doll.
The shaking of the doll triggered a friction sound of the joints, interrupting the female apprentice’s words.
“I’ll take the mask.” Wright said directly.
The female apprentice immediately looked over angrily, “Wright, can’t you hear we’re still asking for him?”
Wright laughed, “I heard you, feel free to ask, I’ll take that mask.”
Wright was going to buy that mask no matter what.
“He’s been very eye-catching today, looks like he’s one of the people Rokai said was loaded.” Saul held his chin.
He was in no hurry to make a price.
Apprentices who often did quests outside seemed to be interested in props that could withstand evil spirits.
The fight between the three ended up being better for Wright.
Wright had just traded his former mount for a large sum of money for himself and was now wide open.
Only when he was triumphant in his victory and looked over at Saul, the smile on his face suddenly turned awkward again and he shrank back behind the doll maid.
This exchange meeting was only responsible for delivering information and reaching a preliminary agreement, the final deal was still carried out by everyone individual after the exchange meeting. As for whether or not there would be any accidents in the middle of the meeting, Luo Kai and their mutual aid association didn’t care.
After Sol it was the turn of the third level apprentice, Jero.
“Well, I don’t have anything to sell, but I did take on an outgoing mission. This mission isn’t too dangerous, it’s just that it’s a bit of a long journey, and I have to travel to Baidon Academy to make an exchange. Everyone here is one of the best in the Sorcerer’s Tower, so if you’re interested you can set off together and earn some additions on the way.”
Jerro’s gaze was on Sol as he said this, clearly meaning to invite him.
But Saul was not moved in the slightest.
Not to mention the fact that he had already arranged a full schedule of things for himself to do now, not to mention the fact that he was not familiar with Jero.
The last time he’d gone all the way with Bill hadn’t been a pretty experience, and if he was going out with someone who could trip him up at any moment, Saul would rather go it alone.
But although Saul had no intention of responding, there were quite a few third level apprentices who expressed their hearts.
There were even some second level apprentices who wanted to participate because they heard that the mission wasn’t dangerous.
Jerro had a smile on his lips the entire time and agreed to all of them.
In the next round, each apprentice almost had news, quests, and props to buy and sell.
The biggest exaggeration was Wright, who had to sell what turned out to be a simulated mannequin sitting on his lap.
This mannequin was really very much like a living person, with a layer of artificial skin wrapped around it except for some of the key joints. And it could also detect heartbeat and breathing.
“Has your hobby evolved from real maids to fake maids?” A person who was on good terms with Wright asked with a smile.
Wright raised an eyebrow, “It’s true that the outer shell of this mannequin is nothing, but the inner part of it is something much more.”
Wright said, directly turning the mannequin around so that the crowd could see her back.
The clothes on the back of the mannequin maid were specially made without a few pieces of fabric, ruffling her hair to reveal a large expanse of whiteness.
But in the center of that simulated back skin, there was a split strung with string.
Wright untied the string and reached into the slit, from which he removed one – a beating green heart.
There was a hose at the top of the heart still attached to the body of the mannequin.
“This is a living mannequin that Land Rover recently put on the shelves, utilizing part of a grudge and plant spores to power it. As long as it’s turned on with magic crystals, it can behave almost like a normal human.”
“What’s the point of this?” A female apprentice asked with a frown.
“It’s of great use, pathfinding, camouflage, and ambush …… just depends on whether you have enough brains to use it or not.”
The female apprentice said coldly, “I’m asking you what is the use of being made into a maid?”
Leta rolled her eyes, “That’s my personal preference. It’s not like I’m selling her anyway, I’m just selling a message, so if you guys want to buy, I can sign a line.”
Hearing this, Sol leaned forward slightly, “How many dolls are produced? What’s the unit price?”
Wright saw that someone was interested, first his eyes lit up and looked over, after realizing that it was Saul, he immediately squared his shoulders again and said, “This one needs to be customized as well, the fastest is ten days, the slowest is three months, depending on the customization needs.”
“How long can a mannequin be used?” I didn’t expect Heywood to be somewhat interested as well.
Everyone did not expect that the first ones to ask for a price were actually Saul and Heywood.
For a while everyone began to wonder if it was because they hadn’t thought of the real use of this seemingly useless mannequin.
So a few more people began to consider whether or not to purchase a few to study them.
Wright also sensed that there was business coming his way and couldn’t help but rub his hands together, “If it’s just simple communication or non-physical activities, like the ones I have here, a heart can last for half a year. But if it’s involved in combat it’s only ten days. If it involves consuming mental energy, it might not last for a few hours.”
“I’ll settle for ten.”
While Saul was still hesitating, Heywood didn’t even ask for a price and directly ordered ten.
The event room was in an uproar.
No one knew what Haywood, a person who didn’t go out, was doing by buying so many dolls.
It’s the end of the month, ask for a monthly ticket, and add more today!
